The dangers of fast food are discussed almost non-stop, but the arguments have practically no effect on the number of visitors to fast food restaurants.
Some nutritionists reassure that it is not so bad if fast food is not the main source of nutrition. Only in this case can you "poison" yourself with pleasure.
However, Italian scientists have warned that ultra-processed food is turning young people into old people.
Research on this topic was published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
According to published data, ultra-processed food “kills” metabolism.
Research details
Scientists analyzed health data from 1,426 children aged 3 to 6 years.
They all ate similar food.
As a result, it turned out that the diet provoked a whole range of pathologies, such as obesity, diabetes, heart and vascular problems.
But the essence of the discovery is that in terms of their health, young fast food lovers turned out to be similar to old people.
Food products that have undergone processing with the prefix “ultra” include fast food, chips, various bars, as well as products with flavor enhancers, aromas and other chemicals.
